OxyLED Bottle Light

I received the OxyLED Bottle Light through a promotion.

Product Info:

• Shaped like a cork
• Rechargeable lithium-ion battery
• Twist on/off light 
• 20 minute charge time
• Works for 3 hours

The OxyLED Bottle Light is a bright and cute cork shaped LED light. It works great to use empty wine or liquor bottles to help illuminate a small room or area of a room. 

The set comes with two bottle lights. The lights are easy to turn on and off. Twisting the clear plastic tip of the cork shaped light allows you to turn the light on and off. The white piece of the light does not move. The LED light is very bright. Used with an empty bottle, it can light up a small room, such as a bedroom or bathroom. It can be used as a nightlight, part of decor, or just for fun. 

On the cork like portion of the light, the cork lid can come off. Inside is the USB port to charge the light. The light only takes about 20 minutes to full charge. It last for 3 hours or less depending on the charge amount. The cork part is covering the plastic piece of the lid. The cork covering can pick or fall off if one is not careful with it. 

The cork light fits in many of the wine bottle and liquor bottle openings. The cork piece usually catches it to keep the light from falling in. If that piece is pressed down too far, it could cause the light to get stuck and make it difficult to get it back out in one piece. 

Pros:

- Bright

- Rechargeable battery

Cons:

- Cork covering can fall off

- USB port lid comes off easily (can get lost)

Hand Painted Wine Glasses

I received these Hand Painted Wine Glasses by Valentina Paris through a promotion.

Product Info:

• Tall wine glasses
• Narrow stem
• Mouth-blown wine glasses
• Designed in Paris
• Hand-painted
• Shape helps enhance red and white wines by allowing them to breathe
• Each has unique paint and colored design

The first thing I noticed when I took the wine glasses out of their box was how tall they were. These wine glasses are bigger and taller than ones I normally use.

The narrow stem made me a little nervous at first. It doesn't seem as sturdy or durable than other wine glasses I've tried. It's not a glass I would use around kids or pets that could knock it over. The glass seems fragile due to how thin on the stem, base, and the actual cup part.

The glass did have it's imperfections. There were some air bubbles that was in the glass and in the paint. The air bubbles are not that noticeable unless you look closely. They were all fairly small and far apart. For them being mouth blown, I'm not surprised that there's some small air bubbles within the glass. The bubbles don't affect how well the glass can be used. The bubbles are all sealed or deeper in the glass where you don't feel it on either side.

The rim of the glass also has it's issues. It's not fully flat. There are some spots where the rim of the glass dips down. It's hardly noticeable. I didn't notice it until several uses in. I was spinning the cup around when drying it and found that there was a few spots where the rim wasn't even with the rest of the glass. The rim is smooth. There's no sharp edges to the glass, so it's still safe to drink from or use.

The painting, color, and pattern is fun. I love how the wine glasses look. The painting doesn't have any edges or indents that make the wine glass hard to clean. I prefer using soap and water to ensure that the wine glass is fully clean.

I don't like drinking out of these wine glasses because they are so large. They're too beautiful to put away. I prefer using them as decorations, whether to store items like pebbles or flame-less candles.

KOVOT XL Wine Glass

I received the the KOVOT XL Wine Glass through a promotion. 

Product Info:

• 9" tall

The KOVOT XL Wine Glass is one of the biggest wine glasses I've seen or own. The company is joking with their discription that the XL wine glass can hold an entire 750 mL wine bottle and still have room for more. The size makes the wine glass fun and great for using as a decoration.

On the down side, the glass of the wine glass seems fragile. It's not one I'd have sitting on a table, counter, etc. where a child could reach it or get knocked over. The glass at the bowl of the cup is thin. It's not the sturdiest wine glass.

The base of the wine glass is thicker and more stable. There's no wobble to the wine glass. It sits flat. There were a bit of air bubbles or roughness to the glass at the base of mine. It's not enough to cut you, but when I scraped my nail over it, it wore down my nail and made it sharp. 

This is a wine glass I prefer to use as a decorative piece or to hold other items, like candy or favorite mementos. I'm not enough of a wine drinker or alcohol drinker to use this as an actual drinking glass.

Top it Off Wine Stoppers

 I received the Eco Friendly Top it Off Wine Stoppers through a promotion.

Product Info:

• Prevents leaks
• Reusable 
• Air-tight seal
• Prevents oxidation when sealed
• Made with food grade silicone
• Dishwasher safe
• Fits wine, beer, champagne, and soda bottles

When I first saw these wine stoppers, I wasn't sure how well they would work. I figured they would help close or provide a type of lid for the wine bottles or bottles with similar tops. I just wasn't sure if they would really provide an air-tight seal and prevent leaking.

The product feels like it is made out of a nice quality silicone. It feels durable and sturdy, like it won't break out several uses. The wine stoppers are dishwasher safe, so they're easy to clean. The top of the wine stopper has a wider edge on two of the sides. It makes it easier to grab and pull up on to reopen the wine bottle. There's not much struggle with it like a cork. Perhaps just a little wiggling to get it loosen from the bottle. 

The inside of the wine stoppers have a groove at the very top where the lip of the glass bottles can fit into. This is what helps provide it with the air-tight seal and leak protection. If you press the stopper all the way down on top of the bottle, the lip of the bottle will fit in the grooves. The groove seems to fit the glass bottles perfectly, like it was a costume fit to them. 

The wine stoppers are too tall to fit on plastic soda bottles or water bottles. It would pop off if squeezed because it doesn't fit down tightly on those types of bottles.

Not to mention that the sayings are absolutely perfect! The sayings bring a smile to my face. It makes me feel lighter and happier, especially after a long day.

Silicone Beverage Glasses

I received the Silicone Beverage Glasses through a promotion.

Product Info:

• Unbreakable 
• Freezable 
• Made with 100% food grade non-stick silicone 
• BPA-free
• Microwave, oven, dishwasher, and freezer safe
• Wash by hand or in dishwasher 
• 11 oz. 

When I received this product, the first thing I noticed was the silicone smell. It was really strong. 

I washed them hoping the smell would fade, which did help. The wide opening made it easy to get inside the cup to wash it. Unfortunately, there was a lot of water stains on them after they dried. It was very difficult to get them off. 

If the glasses dropped, they picked up dirt and dust very easily. They got dirty quickly. They're not a glass I would use outside due to how quickly they get dirty. 

The cup is easy to hold and is flexible. I put hot chocolate in the cups a few times. It didn't burn or melt the classes. It didn't really feel that hot either to hold. It was just warm, which feels great during the cold weather. 

I also like that they don't shatter or leak. If you squeeze them too tightly, the liquid can come out through the opening on top.

"What Night?" Funny Wine Glass

I received the "What Night?" Funny Wine Glass through a promotion? 

Product Info:

• USA made
• Made with Libbey glassware
• Easy to read text
• Dishwasher safe
• Can hold 12.75 oz. of wine
• Well packaged

First thing I noticed when I received this product was that it was well packaged. I've received glassware products before that were broken and shattered due to lack of packaging. This one was packaged very well! You could tell the company cares about their product. It was wrapped within 3 or 4 sheets of bubble wrap, then in a box, then wrapping with amazon air packing, and in an amazon box. I was pleased with how well it was packaged.

I had thought when I first got approved and ordered this product that the glass would be thin, breakable, and cheap. I am extremely pleased to be wrong. The glass is nice and thick. It's very well made. There is a slight wobble at the bottom when the glass is sitting down and empty, but it's not a big enough wobble to become a problem or cause any issues. 

I love the saying on the wine glass. It's cute. I love the line marking the best though, which is with the sayings. I don't like alcohol straight, even wine. I usually mix mine with soda to give a different flavor, less bitter. I use the line markings to measure how much alcohol (wine or flavored vodka) with the "Good Night" marking. I then add soda until it reaches the "What Night" marking. It makes the perfect mix for me. 

This came in handy on the nights class work (homework) was driving me nuts. 

The wine glass is also very easy to wash. The glass is dishwasher safe. The lettering/markings don't come off in the dishwasher with the number of times I've used it. It also is easy to wash in the sink due to the wide opening at the top.

This has become my favorite wine glass to use.

Corkscrew & Wine Stopper

I received the Corkscrew and Wine Stopper by Select Culinary through a promotion.

Product Info:

• Can open wine bottles or beer bottles. 
• Stainless steel 
• Lightweight
• Durable

The corkcscrew seemed lightweight when I was holding it. My family and I had tried this corkscrew during our family Christmas. We tried it on one wine bottle and didn't like how it worked. The corkscrew tip wasn't really sharp to get it into the cork. We finally got it after wiggling it into the cork. Then it was difficult to screw the screw into the cork. It was stiff and took a few minutes. Then pushing down the handles to pop out the cork took some strength. It was pretty snug.

The corkscrew wasn't the best we've ever used, but it did get the job done. It wasn't the worst corkscrew either. It didn't break upon usage.

The wine stopper was wonderful though.

The stopper was nice and heavy duty. It fit the open wine bottle perfectly. It helped seal it without any leakage.

Stemless Wine Glasses

I received the BPA Free Stemless Wine Glasses through a promotion.

Product Info:

• Pack of 4
• Shatterproof Glasses (plastic) 
• 16oz
• BPA free
• Dishwasher safe

These Taza plastic wine glasses work great for outdoor usage. There's no need to worry about glasses getting broken if knocked over. Since these glasses are plastic, they are shatterproof. 

I was expecting the glasses to be heavier or thicker, but they're a nice light-weight glass that's easy to pickup and hold. 

These glasses are not my favorite to use indoors. I prefer normal wine glasses for that, especially for family gatherings.

I do enjoy these glasses for outdoor use, especially near a pool, camping, grilling, etc. 

My favorite thing about these glasses are that they're dishwasher safe.
